Hi everyone,

I'd like to know if it is correct for me to say:

May I take/have you 3 minutes(for a moment)?
Do you have 3 minutes?
Have you got 3 minutes?

Please let me know if my sentences make sense to you. Smile Thanks in advance.

How do you know that it is (whatever it is) going to take 3 minutes exactly and not two minutes and 55 seconds?
May I have a moment of your time?
Do you have a moment?
